Yes, some more stitching going on here . . . . "winged things" being on the agenda and I've made these wonderful little Brooches that friends have been loving! Small birds, dragonflies, ladybirds, beetles ~ have all been on my list . . . . any ideas as to what else I could stitch~up?

Wow, I can't believe it's nearing the end of 2011 . . . . and what a year it's been! I feel like I've achieved pretty much all the goals that I've set and some more, which is amazing for me! The above is taken from the Nostalgic Nelson 2011 Calendar and the house is one that I simply adore ~ wouldn't mind living there myself!

I had a fab day last Saturday at the Ka Pie Market . . . . a friend had arranged to have a stall, so went along and showed off some of me crafty creations I had made recently and had loads of great feedback . . . . I have to say I enjoyed the laid~back atmosphere, good company and delicious food that was on offer ~ the Carrot and Cream Cheese Cake was simply devine!

I have to say that the weather here at the moment has been rather nice ~ we've had cool sunny days and because of the extended hours in the evening it means I can go out and take a walk (I'm trying to get abit fitter, you see) . . . . here's some photo's I've taken recently looking over our Nelson Beach looking out to Tasman Bay . . . .

Received a lovely little package in the post from a fellow blogger from Dunedin, Little Minx~ I really recommend that you look at her blog as she does some wonderful creations including bags, purses, and other fabric delights and I've just got mine ~ the fabric caught my eye and it was a must~have, it will be great for all my art pens and other small general craft stuff.
